Comments: GREAT FIRST SEASON THE NEXT STEP IS WHERE DO WE TAKE YOUR GAME? CAN YOU IMPROVE YOUR COMFORTABLENESS ON THE BALL? CAN YOU FEEL CONFIDENT WITH THE BALL AT YOUR FEET AT ALL TIMES? A SLIGHT TOUCH INTO SPACE WILL THAT CREATE SPACE FOR DRIBBLE OR A PASS? HOW SUCCESSFUL IS THAT CHOICE WHEN PLAYING IN THE BACK? DO NOT RELY ON YOUR STRENGTH TO WIN THE BALLS- I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU READ THE GAME AND ANTICIPATE THE PASS FROM THE OPPONENT- READ AND WIN THE BALL FIRST DO NOT LET THEM WIN IT TASK: TOUCHES EXERCISES A, R/L DIFFER SURFACES B, R,R OR L,L DIFFER SURFACES C, STRUGGLE JUGGLES D, SERVING LONG BALLS AFTER A DRIBBLE (20+ YARDS) E, RECEIVING AIR BALLS, CHEST AND HEAD Managing Parents SAMPLE PLAYER EVALUATION
